Rocking Retrieve

How is your dog’s retrieve? 

Is it rock solid, or does it look a little more like a game of catch-me-if-you-can as your dog gleefully runs around and plays keep-away with their retrieved item? 

Perhaps your retrieve is a bit unpredictable? Sometimes great, sometimes not so great. Your dog might bring something back, or they might not!

Maybe your dog is happy to chase after a toy, but would much prefer to shred it at a distance or make their own fun with it rather than seeing the ultimate fun and value in bringing it back to you.

Having a Rocking Retrieve is a really powerful tool for so many reasons:

• A super reliable retrieve can be the secret sauce in your dog’s recall.
• If you train in dog sports such as agility, a reliable retrieve will allow you to get way more out of your training sessions.
• Teaching your dog to retrieve can boost their confidence, focus, flexibility, independence, grit and so much more!
• Having the confidence and freedom to know that your dog is going to ping back to you every time is a true joy!

When you think about retrieve, it can be helpful to see it as a sequence of events which combine to give you that picture of a Rocking Retrieve. Not only does this make it easier to play games that build those individual components, it also allows you to identify if there is a potential break in that sequence, so you can focus on the skills your dog needs.

Whatever your dog’s retrieve currently looks like, this course will help you build a truly Rocking Retrieve where your dog will learn:

• The desire for a retrieve item
• How to mark a retrieve item
• An accurate pick-up and hold
• A cued release of an object
• To go straight out and come straight back 
• Appropriate control so they can be sent to collect an item when cued
